This Open Access proceedings present a good overview of the current research landscape of industrial robots. The objective of MHI Colloquium is a successful networking at academic and management level. Thereby the colloquium is focussing on a high level academic exchange to distribute the obtained research results, determine synergetic effects and trends, connect the actors personally and in co…
This brief focuses on the use of full-duplex radio in cognitive radio networks, presenting a novel spectrum sharing protocol that allows the secondary users to simultaneously sense and access the vacant spectrum. This protocol, called “Listen-and-talk” (LAT), is evaluated by both mathematical analysis and computer simulations in comparison with other existing protocols, including the listen…
This book constitutes the refereed conference proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Intelligent Data Analysis, which was held in October 2015 in Saint Étienne. France. The 29 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 65 submissions. The traditional focus of the IDA symposium series is on end-to-end intelligent support for data analysis. The symposium aims to p…
This book introduces concepts in mobile, autonomous robotics to 3rd-4th year students in Computer Science or a related discipline. The book covers principles of robot motion, forward and inverse kinematics of robotic arms and simple wheeled platforms, perception, error propagation, localization and simultaneous localization and mapping. The cover picture shows a wind-up toy that is smart enough…
Before we go into details on various computer designs concepts, we need to understand how to interpret the performance of a computer system. To start with, we will look at some basic metric and benchmarks for the measurement of a computer's performance.
Websites are created using a set of standard technologies. Many of these technologies involve markup and programming languages for encoding page content and specifying the appearance and interactive behaviour of Web elements. In this module, you are introduced to the most common Web development technologies promoted by the World Wide Web Consortium (http://www.w3.org/). You will also be guid…
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th Chinese Conference on Advances in Image and Graphics Technologies, IGTA 2015, held in Beijing, China, in June 2015. The 50 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 138 submissions. They provide a forum for sharing new aspects of the progresses in the areas of image processing technology, image analysis und understandin…
This is the second volume of the two-volume set (CCIS 528 and CCIS 529) that contains extended abstracts of the posters presented during the 17th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, HCII 2015, held in Heraklion, Crete, Greece in August 2015. The total of 1462 papers and 246 posters presented at the HCII 2015 conferences was carefully reviewed and selected from 4843 submiss…
This open textbook aims to fill the gap between the open-source implementations and the open-source network specifications by providing a detailed but pedagogical description of the key principles that guide the operation of the Internet.
